We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Don't know. I certainly wouldn't recommend it - it's not like it's an easy hoe. I jokingly tell every intern that we have come through that it's not too late to change their degree...
